Ingredients
  

For the wings:

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch

For the sauce:

  • 2 Tbsp butter:
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Mirin
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 2 tsp corn starch

For serving:

  • Thinly sliced scallions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Toss the wings with the cornstarch in a large bowl. They should be evenly and lightly coated.
Place in the air fryer or on sprayed wire racks over a baking sheet.
Spray with oil.

To cook in the Air Fryer:


  • Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees.
Cook the wings for for 18-20 minutes, flipping or tossing halfway through, until browned and crisp.

To cook in the oven:


  • Lay the wings on sprayed wire racks over a baking sheet.
Place in a 425 degree preheated oven.
Cook for 45 minutes, flipping over halfway through.

While the wings cook, make the sauce**:

  • Mix together the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, water and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a small pot melt the butter over medium heat and when it’s hot add in the garlic. Allow to cook for 1 minute then add in the soy sauce mixture.
  • Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for a few minutes, whisking often, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat.

When the wings are cooked:

  • Remove from oven or fryer and immediately toss with the garlic butter mixture.
  • Sprinkle with sliced green onion and sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice.

Notes

**This makes a good amount of sauce, so if you have some leftover serve it with the wings and rice.
